News media using Glenn Beck to smear Israel?

Scores of major news media outlets published pictures of Glenn Beck in Israel while reporting on the radio host’s seemingly unrelated controversial comments regarding a Norwegian summer camp that was the site of a shooting massacre last week.

In a radio segment Monday morning on “The Glenn Beck Program,” the former Fox News star described the deadly attack “as a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler Youth. I mean who sends their kids to a political camp?”

Beck was referring to the shooting last week allegedly carried out by Anders Behring Breivik at a Norwegian Labor Party youth camp, killing at least 68 people, many teenagers, and wounding 66.

It was the second attack blamed on Breivik that day. He is also accused of exploding a car bomb in downtown Oslo, near the offices of the Norwegian prime minister and several other governmental buildings. The explosion killed eight people and wounded 26.

Beck’s remarks about the summer camp received a significant amount of news media coverage.
